Set behind an established garden, this original fisherman’s cottage carries the quiet charm of its seaside setting. The weatherboard facade and timber sash windows create an immediate sense of character, while high ceilings and hardwood floors beneath the existing coverings provide an authentic base for restoration. Northern light settles into the main living room, with concertina doors opening to the third bedroom so the two spaces can remain distinct, or come together as a flexible sitting room or retreat.
Two further bedrooms are positioned toward the front, including a generous main with walk-in robe. The original bathroom remains in situ with a bath, shower and vanity, while the kitchen and meals area offers substantial storage before extending through to the sunroom, powder room and laundry. The layout is unmistakably cottage in its proportions, with enough flexibility to invite a thoughtful new interpretation.
Beyond the rear door, the depth of the 447 sqm allotment reveals the scale of the opportunity. Established garden beds and a garden shed sit within the long backyard, while side lane access leads directly to the single garage. There is scope to preserve the cottage as it stands or pursue a sympathetic renovation and extension that makes fuller use of the block while remaining in keeping with the surrounding heritage streetscape (STCA).
An easy stroll to Santa Casa Beach, where Lovers Walk winds beneath the dunes toward the heart of Queenscliff. Morning swims, beachcombing, village coffee and long coastal walks can all become part of the daily routine, with the wider trail network continuing toward Point Lonsdale. Here the coastal landscape is not an occasional destination, but an immediate extension of home.
